Getting ahead yesterday turned out to be a really big help. Granted, it was just with one of my novels, but it meant that I could focus on trying to get more ahead. I’m hoping that I can get a day ahead of schedule, which should give me some time tomorrow to focus on the Giant Prehistoric Chicken
This year I’m finding that I have a couple ideal writing times. Mornings between 10:30 and 12:30 are working out really well. The other ideal writing time for me is after 5:30 pm until the early hours of the morning.
So here’s my word count totals so far:
The Secret Service Novel: 5081; some new characters
Harry Potter and the Giant Prehistoric Chicken: 414; I’ve decided to give this one a break for today, and decided that for now, I would write it out of order. If I can get to 13336 for the other two, it should give me some time to catch up.
2006 Sequel: 5010; this novel is very quickly becoming a rant, however, I am showing Chloe to work on things that she had always ignored and brushed off before, so it makes sense that she would be talking about her problems more.
Grand Total: 10,505 words
So below is a picture of my handwritten progress sheet. I pretty much highlight each goal I hit. It’s also in addition to the spreadsheet I’m doing.

hey there! i am a freelance journalist who’d love to do something on NaMoWriMo and speak with you about it. Any chance you can email me at the address above? thanks 🙂
